Pike and fish with bigger teeth!

[msgdan]

After a week in Myrtle Beach chasing sharks from my kayak, I hit the river this morning for 1 hour before work. Crazy action with 6 pike landed and 3 good sized LMB. All the pike were in the 24-28 inch range, but in the shallow water, fought like crazy.

Now to the bigger teeth story. The shark fishing was insane! I only went out 2 mornings and the first trip was great with 6-7 sharks landed in the 5-6 foot range. There were bunker pods just off the beach with sharks crashing them every few seconds. It was very easy, just snag a bunker, put it on a single hook and hold on.

Here is a video of the bunker school that I took from my 23rd floor hotel room before heading out.

Here is another video of one of the sharks from the first morning.

Here are a few pictures from the first morning.






The second morning was not as good with only about 3 smaller sharks landed, but I did have a huge shark on for about 5 minutes that bit through my 75lb. rated wire leader. I think I am glad that one got off because after 5 minutes, I almost got spooled and I wasn't making any headway.
